Playing with the kids, each of us on the team were assigned to a group of children to play games with the kids and to start to get to know them. It was so much fun!

One of the small classrooms. Note the posters on the wall are handmade and that there is nothing in the room other than the desks and chairs and 30 children are in this classroom.

Some of the teachers in the 2nd small classroom. I can't fathom teaching 30 children in a room this size, with next to know resources.

I am taking pictures of a group of the neediest students in the school to create a short biography of them. We are hoping to use these in our presentations when we get home and hopefully in the future for a possible sponsorship program. Once I was done the pictures I did a short interview with each student with one of the teachers to ask them a few questions to help me understand who they are and what their needs are.

The kids literally hang on the windows of the school to watch what we are doing, when we are working and eating. Eating is the hardest on us because we can't physically provide food for them each day. One of our team members hasn't been eating lunch because of this.

Always some smiling faces to see! I love that they always ask us our names and how we are. Their english is very basic but it makes for lots of laughs, especially when one girl said she loved us like bananas, or a glass of milk!

These kids absolutely love getting their pictures taken and then seeing them. I bet many of them don't have mirrors in their homes so this may be one of the few times they see themselves!

The sandwiches that were gone almost as fast as we made them. Once the community found out we were giving out lunch they came quickly!

Eating lunch! For most of these children this may have been their only meal that day. Not too sure if they've ever eaten a sandwich before.

This little cutie really didn't seem sure about eating a sandwich and it was so big for her. Too cute for words!
